Used two 100% cotton fabrics (both from the quilting section, one a printed calico and the other was a Kona solid, I think), they didn't seem too thick by themselves, but even using 3" rings, I'm having a heck of a time adjusting, even without my little one in the sling! Might end up taking it apart and just doing a single layer after all. For next time, are there any fabrics you've found that glide pretty smoothly?

It sounds like everyone managed just fine, but YES, I found the typo a lot of you mentioned about sewing the "wrong" sides of the fabric. It should indeed say to sew the "right" sides together, and I have corrected it, so thanks for pointing it out! I use the Gutenburg (I think that's what it's called) thread, and the fabrics I use are always 100% cotton. I think the sizing of your rings may change based on your fabric, and also whether or not you want to double the fabric or just do a single one. For summertime, I prefer a single layer sling!<br /><br /><3, RachelLifeMoreSimplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740159198016197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590679856739734993.post-63695081330270621322013-04-28T10:11:46.687-04:002013-04-28T10:11:46.687-04:00She meant to say sew right sides together I'm ...She meant to say sew right sides together I'm assuming.

A...Just made my sling and this is a great tutorial! A couple of things - the medium metal rings from slingrings.com seem too small to me because using two fabrics just gives you SO MUCH fabric going through the rings that I can't smoothly adjust them while wearing the baby (which is kind of the whole point of a ring sling). Secondly, it's really long. The tail goes past my knee when my 21 lb. 10-month-old is snuggled in. So, there's definitely room to lose a little fabric if one wants. Otherwise, like I said, this was great and thanks very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590679856739734993.post-62668695658277499312013-02-21T17:15:50.701-05:002013-02-21T17:15:50.701-05:00Just ordered my rings, this is the best tutorial I...Just ordered my rings, this is the best tutorial I've seen!
